Think of some of your favorite singers. When you listen, they can make you happy or sad, peaceful or angry. They can make you relax or want to get up and dance. Gifted singers have the power to affect us in many ways — emotionally, physically and mentally.
But becoming a great singer isn’t as easy as listening to one. It takes practice, devotion and strong lungs! Just ask the well-known American opera star Carol Vaness.
At the Metropolitan Opera in
“When you breathe, it’s like a swimmer taking a deep breath before going underwater, ” Carol explains. “You have to take a lot of air into your lungs.”
According to Carol, the main difference between pop singing and opera is “how you breathe, how much air you take in, and how you control it coming out. Regular singing is more like speaking, and it’s a lot softer. When I sing for children, they’re often surprised by how the vibrations strike their ears — like waves on a beach, ” Carol says. “In opera, the air doesn’t just go out of your mouth — it vibrates in your chest, the way a guitar vibrates when it’s played.”
Ever since she started piano lessons at the age of ten, Carol has loved music. As she got older, she decided to become a music teacher. When she went to college, she took singing lessons as part of her studies. Her voice teacher discovered that nineteen-year-old Carol had an exceptionally beautiful soprano voice – the highest singing voice for women.
Carol decided to make opera her goal, not only because she loved to sing but also because she loved the drama. Opera is a play in which the characters sing the words instead of speaking them. The stories of opera can be tragic or comical. They can be personal stories about two people falling in love or grand stories about kings and queens who lived long ago. As the characters in an opera sing, the emotions expressed by words and music come to life.
Today, Carol performs throughout the
“Put your heart into your singing and enjoy it,” says Carol, “because singing is a great joy. That’s why I sing. In fact, that’s why everybody sings.”

The way people hold to the belief that a fun - filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably(不可避免的)brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment (义务), self - improvement.
Ask a bachelor(单身汉)why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.
Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three - day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.
64. According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because _______ .
A. he is reluctant to take on family responsibilities
B. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single
C. he finds more fun in dating than in marriage
D. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement
65. Raising children, in the author’s opinion is ________ .
A. a moral duty B. a thankless job
C. a rewarding task D. a source of inevitable pain
66. From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from ________ .
A. hatred B. misunderstanding C. prejudice D. ignorance
67. To understand what true happiness is one must ________ .
A. have as much fun as possible during one’s lifetime
B. make every effort to liberate oneself from pain
C. put up with pain under all circumstances
D. be able to distinguish happiness from fun
68. What is the author trying to tell us?
A. Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain.
B. One must know how to attain happiness.
C. It is important to make commitments.
D. It is pain that leads to happiness.
D
Russian tradition orders that men should kiss each other three times on the cheeks at official functions. Now, a new ruling in
Leonid Brezhnev, the general secretary of the Communist Party from 1929 to 1932, was famous for treating male colleagues to a full lip-lock.

第二节：写作（满分25分） 2008年奥运会刚刚落幕，一家英文报刊在其网站上征集奥运会后如何综合利用体育场馆的建议。假设你叫李华，是该报的一名读者，请给该报编辑部写一封信，谈谈你的建议及理由。内容包括： 1．向公众开放，用于健身； 2．租给体育公司，创造经济效益； 3．开辟成旅游景点，吸引游客。 注意：1、词数120左右； 2、信的开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear editor, I’m Li Hua, a reader of your paper. ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ Yours faithfully, Li Hua 单项选择： 21. A midnight午夜前不加冠词；get the best of战胜，击败 22. A a normal response/reaction to sth.对…的正常反应；第二空根据其后的an accident可知选injure。 23. B 虚拟语气的考查。对过去事实的虚拟，条件从句用过去完成时，主句用would/could/might+现在完成时。 24. C while在此表对比，“尽管”，引起一个让步状语从句。 25. D 虚拟条件句中有were/should/had时，可省略if，把were/should/had提前。 26. C take up开始从事；save up储蓄；keep up坚持，继续；draw up起草，制定 27. D used to do sth.过去常做某事；be devoted to doing sth.致力于做某事；B项错在work上，应该用working。 28. B on behalf of“代表…” 29. D hardships“艰难，苦难，辛苦”；disadvantages“不利之处”；shortcoming“缺点”；troubles“烦恼，困难，麻烦”。 30. B without which里隐含了一个虚拟的条件：If he hadn’t given me… 31. A face 32. D anyway不管怎样；likewise同样地，也；therefore因此；otherwise否则 33. C be worthy to be done，形容词短语作后置定语，其前省略了that is；而worth的固定结构为be worth doing。 34. B 考查省略。当主句与从句主语一致时，且从句中含有be动词，这是可省略从句主语和be动词，补充完整则为“when it is taken”。 35. A 从前一句看，应是对过去的虚拟，因此，but后的句子应该是过去的事实，用一般过去时。 完形填空： 36. A 这句话给我留下了深刻的印象。 37. B 自那以后，在过去的33年中我每天早晨都会对着镜子问自己：“如果今天是我生命中的最后一天，我会去做今天打算做的那些事吗?”look in／into the mirror意为：对着镜子看。 38. A 此处是虚拟。 39. D 每当答案连续多日都是“不会”的时候，我知道我该做些改变了。in a row意为连续不断地。 40. C 提醒自己我即将死去，是帮我做出人生中许多重大抉择的最重要的工具。 41. D make choices意为做出选择。 42. B 此处为结果状语。因为几乎所有的一切在死亡面前都会消失殆尽，留下的是真正重要的东西。 43. A be diagnosed with．．．诊断出得……病。 44. C in order妥当的,有序的。医生劝我回家,安排后事，这是医生让病人等死的婉言。 45. D live with接受或容忍某现象。此句意为诊断结果让我想了一整天。 46. A 前后句为转折关系，however是副词。 47. B 从后句可知，作者患得是一种非常罕见的、可以用手术治愈的癌症，后来治好了 48. C 没有人愿意死，即使人们想上天堂，也不会为了去那里而死。 49. C 但是死亡是我们每个人共同的归宿，无人幸免。 50.B 从后句可知答案。死亡很可能是生命惟一最好的发明。它是生命变化更替的推动力。agent可指使某事发生的施动者。如：the agent of his own ruin他自我毁灭的根源。 51. D make way(for sb)让某人通过，给某人让路。此句意为死亡破旧立新。 52. C 你们现在是新人，但是不久的将来，你们会慢慢变老．然后被清除掉。 53. A 你们的时间很有限，所以不要把时间浪费在重复他人的生活上。 54. D be trapped by／in sth．陷入困境，被……束缚。此句意为不要受教条的束缚，因为那就意味着你依据别人的思想在生活。 55. A 不要让他人喋喋不休的意见淹没掉你自己内心的声音。 阅读理解： 56. B. 从第三段前两句可知。 57. C. 全文主要是介绍Carol Vaness 这位American opera star. 58. D. 前三项正好说反了。第五段说明D正确。 59. B. 第六段谈到“she decided to become a music teacher…she took singing lessons as part of her studies.” 并不意味着“她当上了音乐老师”。 60. A. 此句话与第二段 “But becoming a great singer isn’t as easy as listening to one. It takes practice, devotion and strong lungs!”相呼应。 61. C细节题，查读法。根据题干关键词“the strongest wind”查读四个城市Tomorrow的风力部分，可以判断在1月19号，伦敦的风力是每小时20—30英里，比其他各城市要强。 62. D细节题，查读法。根据悉尼的天气预报中“Tomorrow”信息中的第一句“Showers in the morning with isolated thunderstorms arriving in the afternoon．”可以判断1月19号下午有雷雨。 63. A 细节推断题，常识+略读法。埃菲尔铁塔是巴黎的标志，自由女神像是纽约的标志，大本钟是伦敦的标志，悉尼歌剧院是悉尼的标志。根据各地的天气预报可以判断，巴黎1月18号天气状况是阳光明媚，适合游览观光，而其他地方不是阴天就是雨雪天气。 64. A 提示：本文是一篇议论文，阐述了幸福的获得这一严肃话题，试图澄清人们在幸福问题上的一些误解。本题要求学生判断单身汉拒绝结婚的主要原因。依据文章第3段第1行“Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment”（……害怕作出对义务的承诺，即不愿承担义务）。A项与之等同，故正确。 65. C 提示：依据文章第4段第1句“带有婴儿的父母要是能睡上一整晚觉或度一个三天的假日，那真是太幸运了。在我认识的人中，不会有人用fun（好玩）来描述他们抚养孩子的感受”，似乎会认为作者的意图是B项（出力不讨好，毫无回报的事）或D项（不可避免的痛苦来源）。实际上，作者真实想法应在第2句中体现：但是决定不生孩子的夫妻永远也体会不到看着孩子成长以及和孙子玩耍的那种乐趣、那种欣喜。这种乐趣、欣喜实际就是一种回报。所以选项C正确。 66. B 提示：依据文章最后一句“And it liberates us from envy：we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.”说明：我们现在的这种理解就可免除嫉妨，那么反过来，嫉妨产生于我们的理解不当，即misunderstanding，故选项B正确。 67. D 提示：依据文章第1段第1句“The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness”（人们坚持充满趣味、毫无痛苦的生活就等于幸福这一信条实际上减少了他们获得真正幸福的可能性）。再依据文章最后一句“…all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all”（……生活中总是有如此多的fun的人实际上也许一点都不幸福）。可以看出要理解真正的幸福是什么就必须把fun和happiness区分开来。因为两者绝不等同。故选项D正确。C项应该是回答“怎样才能获得真正的幸福”这一问题，且作者并没在文中明确提到获得快乐就必须在任何情况下都忍受痛苦。 68. A 提示：作者的意图出现在第1段最后一句：“But in fact，the opposite is true：more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain”（……事实上，导致你幸福的事情多半伴随着痛苦），故选项A符合题意。 69. C 由句子because the “kissing ceremony” takes so long可知。 70. C 根据“Oh, God, help me survive this deadly love”可知“Honecter厌烦这一礼节”，所以认为C项比较恰当。 71. B 由句子In the distant past, a kiss from the tsar (emperor) was the highest sign of recognition. 可知人们的看法。 72. C Kleshko认为“Single-sex kisses should be avoided, including at official meetings. ”，Gorlov 说“When a man is kissing another man at an official event, I have a negative attitude towards it. ”，可知“他们两人持相同的观点”。 73．By being encouraged to do whatever other kids did． 【解析】由第九段的“Despite this，my parents encouraged me to do all the things the kids around me did when I was growing up．”可知。 74．Because he wanted them to accept and respect all their peers． 【解析】主旨大意题。由最后一段的“My hope is that in taking time with them．I will encourage them to accept their peers，whatever size and shape they come in，and treat them with respect．”可知作者与孩子们交流是希望他们能接受并尊重他们同龄人中的残疾人。 75．Independent ,optimistic，helpful and satisfied ／content. 【解析】归纳概括题。由第十一段的“As time went on，I just tried to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life…”可以看出作者的乐观与独立；由十段的I remind myself，“Look what else I have—a great family，nice friends．”可知作者对现状很满足；作者喜欢与孩子交流，告诉他们要尊重平等对待他们周围的人，可知作者乐于助人。
